Fri.’s Devo - Remember

Read: Num. 26-27
God told Moses to number all the children of Israel that came out of Egypt but would not live to enter the promised land. There were over 83,000 people. They all died except Joshua and Caleb. Moses was told to appoint Joshua to take his place and Eleazar as the priest to take Aaron’s place. Moses then was to climb the mountain and look at the land he would never walk on. Then God was going to take him like he did Aaron.
When I see a lot of the spiritual leaders dying I know that we are about to enter a new era. I remember a time when about 6 major spiritual leaders in our country died within a 2 year period. Lately there have been a few. I feel the winds of change blowing over the body of Christ. Things are changing for the good of those who put their trust in Jesus. For the rest of the world, the changes will not be good. Just like the daughters of Zelophehad came to Moses and asked that their father’s name would not be forgotten. Their father’s name means “causing to forget”. They didn’t want that to happen without his inheritance. God gave them their possession. We are here to let God’s name be known.
Lord, help us to obey You and remember whose we are and why we are here.
